It is supposed to be taped live on Monday evenings. The earlier part of the day is supposed to be for dress rehearsals with the band. I wasn't aware that there was a question about how live it is. I think it is live because when the Marie Osmond fainting thing happened live, it was edited when it aired on the west coast. Perhaps that is the discrepancy....it is live in the eastern time zone, but not in the west.

No problem. To give you a better idea about the live taping...first show to air on March 22, 2010....It will air at 8 pm eastern time but that is 5 pm in California (for the taping). I hope you get tickets, and maybe you can give us some inside info.
